You say Florida has hardly any.
I have not come across any credible information about the absolute number of and rates of jackings, anywhere. How such crimes are tracked and reported varies county to county throughout the US.
Given California has twice the population of Florida , it likely it has more good, bad and ugly of everything.

Any facts to support your allegations or do you believe "A TV Show said" is actually evidence of anything?  |

Florida hardly has any car jackings.
The difference between CA and Florida is that Florida has sealed gun laws and stand your ground laws. Criminals are aware that the driver of a car can have a gun! In California, criminals know that drivers are NOT allowed to have a gun.
Which State will criminals prefer for a car jacking?

Same thing is happening in Chicago with its strict gun control laws that only law-abiding people obey...

That's almost never heard of in Florida. Very rare.

Did you even attempt to read posts #14 and 15? No, it appears you did not. I proved your statement about carjackings in FL was a lie, but you chose to ignore it. |

If snapped is the basis for your opinions... |
